    To add on – we need to recognize that Russia is trying to enforce the old rules of imperialism.

    Which is absolutely bullshit when you consider that originally Moscow was in Ukraine, not Russia

      The fuck are you talking about. The capital of the old Rus was Kiev, hence it being called the Kieven Rus. But moscow was at most an irrelevent village at best during most of the history of the Kieven Rus, it wasnt until the Mongols that you see Moscow become relevent through trade and not getting pillaged.

      This is the equivelent of saying Dublin was originally in England not Ireland. Its nonsense.
